She was exhausted, her feet hurt as they were bruised and cut from all the running, her sandals battered away to barely anything in her hand. She had been running from her step parents for nearly a week, avoiding the few guild wizards they had hired to retrieve her by hiding in any frm of water she could. She would often hide in lakes, ponds and even fountains… letting her liquid body easily slip into it’s watery state to avoid detection. She had only had to face one of the younger wizards that had come to find her, and that was why she was so beat up now. It wasn’t just her feet that were bruised, but her body suffered a very similar fate, streaks of dried up tears were visible on her dirty face to anyone who was looking at her.
“I’m so tired… I just need somewhere to sleep..”
The young girl mumbled under her breath as she sluggishly walked on. She had no money to speak of, so couldn’t rent herself a room. The battered dress she wore and the necklace around her neck were about the only things she could consider hers.
As she walked on, she came across what looked to once be a wizarding guild hall. Judging by the looks of the place however, it wasn’t an active guild any more… Biting her lower lip nervously she walked up the steps and pushed her way into the building. The large doors creaked as she entered, causing small pudgy tears to form at the corner of her eyes as she walked inside. Maybe if she was lucky she could find some food scraps to salvage… and maybe a dusty old bed… or even just another corner space to spend her time recovering her magic energy and her strength. As she walked through the old Sabertooth Guildhall, nothing seemed very spectacular… she couldn’t find any food to speak of, nor a comfy bed… there was however, a lacrima sitting in the foyer. She looked at it intently, wondering what on earth a lacrima would be doing here… maybe she could take it and trade it for a night at the inn. She took a deep breath and cautiously stepped towards the lacrima, her tiny hand reaching out, just gently touching the orb. As soon as it did however, her entire body started to tingle, causing the young girl to give a small yelp before the world itself temporarily went black.
When she could finally see again, she was surrounded by the bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds that seemed to kiss the very platform she was standing on. The lacrima she had found was a teleportation lacrima! But where on earthland did it take her? She took a few steps forward, heading to the main building, and seeming the only way to go at this point but froze at the end of the bridge. Her hands flung up to her mouth, launching her small sandals over the edge of the bridge as she covered a shriek that wanted to escape her. The small tears that had begun to form now began free falling down her face. They were in the sky! They were so high up above the ground! Her eyes grw wide as she very suddenly wanted to be sick. Her knees trembled as she took careful steps forward, holding the end of the bridge tightly as if it would collapse under her at any minute. If she could only reach that main building, then she might be able to ask someone for help… hopefully.
When she came up to the large entrance, she carefully opened the door, peering inside and much to her amazement, her earlier fear calmed itself. The inside of the building looked absolutely beautiful! 100% bigger and nicer than the house her step parents had owned! She brought up her glove to wipe away at the tears on her face, only making a bigger mess of her little face.
Her amazement ended however as she spotted many people walking about the guild. Some sitting and chatting, eating, even merrily drinking at the beautifully lit bar. Great… what was she going to do now?
Was this the real Sabertooth Guild Hall?!
